Well, the terminology is a bit off... kind of makes SMF seem like a tiny little thing smCore is a platform (database, permissions, file IO, etc.) and SMF is a module (large package that sits on top of smCore and uses it to get stuff done), with current mods being plugins for smCore that require SMF and affect SMF's functionality.

Oh, ok, I was under the impression that their could be another forum or whatever code that could even use the smCore, that bypasses SMF completely. Cause than, if this were possible, it would definitely be more impressive. Well, just the same, should be interesting.

Nice, a repo, may jump in from time to time. This is something that needed to be done a while back, makes suggesting new fixes less trouble some. I am watching it now, hence I don't get the whole structure and all yet.

Thank you!

I fully agree, it was needed for a while back. We'll get there, to an open development process (and better it, at that), with more of our work, on more projects/subprojects, in time.

why do you build your kernel when it is ready to use frames?because when you use the finished frame will be easier to work with other ready-made solutions and find work as volunteers, they will know the specifics of the forum and framework

Please make it more SEO friendly... Can we edit tag and description of all the pages/topics? Is it possible to design in such a way that we can transfer the forum from one host to other directly... I mean just few click and download a large file containing all html file and MySql and with another click it would be uploaded to any host or any thing better than this?

Looking forward to seeing SMF move from procedural to OOP. I took a Java class back in 2004 and learned how to write classes. It was the best thing ever. So, I have a understanding what this is about. Of course, we're talking about application programming vs website scripting.

Aside from coding changes, I'm looking forward to seeing new actual features to enhance the user experience.

I've been out of the loop, I use to use SMF 1.1 in mid 2007 and never really had an interest in site administration after that. Again, I'm more into application programming, not site scripting.

Is there any sort of vague idea when SMF 3.0 MIGHT be released? Are we looking at anytime in 2012? Yes/No/Maybe? Just curious if anyone knows that much, at least. Regardless, I'll be happy when it does come out.

Meta description has absolutely no effect on search result position. It's useless for SEO purposes. Frankly, it should just get pulled out completely.

Also, I echo Arantor's comments on you sitting down and tagging every single topic. Not hard for a small board with minimal traffic, impossible on a medium board as you'd spend all your time trying to come up with decent tags.

Not possible without making things very complicated. Also, it wouldn't scale well at all. As it is, the built-in database-only backup feature of SMF has problems on some hosts and will not work on large forums. Additionally, as each hosting provider is slightly different, you'd have to try to accommodate a lot of variability.

If you don't allow attachments and uploaded avatars on your forum, you can get away with just a plain database backup.
